If you’re already in on the skincare secret that is CeraVe, congratulations — but if you have always wondered if this $19 moisturizing cream is worth the hype, we’re here to tell you that the answer is an emphatic “yes.” The skincare brand was so popular on TikTok, that there was a CeraVe shortage, in part because of TikTok’s major skincare influencer @skincarebyhyram brought the products to light — that’s what happens when millennials and Gen Z figure out the power of a drugstore brand.

Not only is it on sale for $19 on Amazon, but it’s from a brand beloved by stars like Olivia Wilde, Busy Philipps, Blake Lively, AOC, and Gabrielle Union. It’s no wonder it’s currently Amazon’s number one-selling face moisturizer.

Don’t forget that this moisturizer can also be used on your body. You might have a bad association with men using a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, but reviewers promise that this moisturizing cream really is effective both on your face and body.

Don’t just take our word for it — CeraVe’s moisturizer has over 100,000 five-star reviews on Amazon. You read that right, over 100,000 (!) five-star reviews! Clearly, it’s doing something right and the reviews do an excellent job at proving that.

“My fountain of youth cream,” wrote one shopper. “I love this cream! I have been using it for a while and the 19oz last forever. You only have to use a little of it to moisturize your skin. I have very sensitive skin but this cream has never caused any skin irritation. I use it in the morning and at night. I am 76-years-old but no one believes my age. Most of my friends are in their late fifties or sixties. Hyaluronic acid is what gives you the moisture needed. The Ceramides help restore the skin barrier and help prevent wrinkles. I have had people tell me, “but you have no wrinkles” and I say it is because of my CeraVe. I will continue to use it as long as it remains on the market because it is my facelift in a container.”

One reviewer claimed is was “amazing” for patchy, dry skin, especially during winter. They wrote, “This southern gal has struggled badly with dry skin since I had to move to a much colder climate, especially during the colder months! I get dry flaky skin on my hands and legs especially; on my legs it is so bad that sometimes I cannot help scratching until it bleeds or leaves a rash. I even do it in my sleep. It is… not my favorite thing. This product specifically is a lifesaver for me. Since using it, I no longer have the above issues with my skin … Highly recommend for dry skin girlies especially during the cold months.”
